## Resource

Notre Dame football recruiting, Marcus Freeman, the Class of 2027, Champ Monds, elite recruiting battles, and the future of the Irish are all front and center in this loaded episode of Locked On Irish. Tyler Wojciak is joined by Rivals’ National Recruiting Director Adam Gorney to break down why Notre Dame is recruiting at an elite level under Marcus Freeman, how the Irish compare to programs like Georgia and Ohio State, the ceiling for Notre Dame’s 2027 class, the rise of Champ Monds, and some of the best recruiting stories from Gorney’s decades covering the sport. Plus, Tyler and Adam discuss which Notre Dame commits are underrated and how recruits nationally now view Notre Dame compared to previous eras.
